Leave your thoughts about Weirdos.
| The Film StageJohn FinkLanding somewhere between his brilliant character study Trigger and the frustrating, if not beautiful and heartbreaking This Movie is Broken, Weirdos is an endearing throwback to the moment where good kids engage in this kind of behavior. |
| Globe and MailBrad WheelerWeirdos is a coming-of-age story, for a country. McDonald waves a freak flag. It has a leaf. |
| Seattle TimesBrent McKnightThe young leads are charming and authentic, and the film reminds us all to embrace our own weirdness. |
| National PostChris KnightKit may define himself as a weirdo, but this nostalgic, simple road trip is anything but. |
| HeyUGuysSteven NeishAffectionate and heartfelt, Bruce McDonald's coming of age story is all about the beauty to be found in the shades of grey. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyMore a short story than a novel in terms of cumulative heft, Weirdos nonetheless benefits from the literary virtues of revealing character through a seemingly casual, anecdotal narrative. |
| Butaca AnchaCarlos Rgó... the sensitive part of a world of fiction that floods us with certainties and the nostalgia of black and white on screen. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Cinema ScopeAdam NaymanIt's nice that this latest work by a filmmaker who has sometimes chased hipness past its expiration date concludes on a note of deliberate, intergenerational non-cool. |
| Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenA lovely, low-key memory piece, vibrant with the awkward grace of adolescence. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellWeirdos is one of Bruce McDonald's sweetest films. |
